Jones has been tweeting her excitement for the 2016 Games, especially the American athletes, since the start, including at one point in a star-spangled unitard. This weekend, the executive producer of the NBC Olympics reached out on Twitter to invite her to Brazil.

At first Jones didn't seem sure if she should go, but she tweeted she'd accepted on Monday. NBC Sports Group confirmed that she will travel to Rio as a contributor, attending events and meeting athletes.

Jones even apologized to her followers who've been relying on her 140-character commentary if she missed any of the wall-to-wall action as she was getting ready: "Ok packing I'm in the middle of watching Olympics so I might miss some stuff!!"
